A Pakistan player has been cleared to return to the squad after undergoing a precautionary period of self-isolation, the ECB said.

"The player had returned a positive test result for the remnants of previous COVID-19 infection and in consultation with Public Health England and a virologist a safety-first approach was taken to isolate the player," the governing body said in a statement.

"The player has since returned two negative tests with no risk of infection to other players and staff."
